Bath time!

Holly is so excited to one day take a bath with her Baby Sister Lyra

But until she is big enough to sit up on her own at the very least

A little dip is all she gets.  Lyra loved the warm water.

She loves being with her big sister 

And she even loved the bubble bath bubbles 

 Here is a video of the girls

Here was when Holly was playing she wrote out Ariel and her Sisters names

She didn't want her hair washed so here she wrote "do not wash my hair "

Afterwards the girls cuddled while drying off

Holly loves her little sister so much

Always asking to hold her

She talks and plays with her all the time

And here are my two twinzie girls

Both in soft cuddly footsie pajamas 

Holly wanted to match Lyra in all her cozy  outfits

Tomorrow we are back to school

Here is the fun katniss braid I did her hair in for bed .  It was a fun evening

Christmas Crafts

What started off as a fun Christmas Eve craft project building a cool Cinderella carriage while Santa's elves were busy preparing for the big day turned into a 5 hour ordeal.  While Holly had a lot lot lot of fun and stayed totally engaged participating for at least the first two hours pour Tanta Kat was tormented by confusing instructions, backwards facing pieces and a puzzle of sorts where the pieces all fell apart as soon as they got put together.  If we end up salvaging and keeping the project Daddy will have to shop for some type of spray on adhesive glue that would dry and keep the whole thing together and maybe the paint would help too.  Regardless it was suoer fun having Kat spend the day today, lasagna for dinner and Christmas anticipation.  Looking forward to Santa coming tonight!

Playmate play date

Now that Lyra is three weeks old and awake a little more then usual we decided to try out her playmat.  Holly said Lyra was an under the sea mermaid :-) we didn't have all the regular dangly toys so holly decided to improvise with tree ornaments - Lyra liked that as she enjoys looking at the tree and liked the jingle bells.  Holly also said she was on a special play date with Lyra.

Lyra actually really enjoyed her tummy time, something Holly hated as a baby.  Lyra was content to lay on her belly and do pre crawling leg movements while her big duster gave her kisses and cuddles.  They had fun!
